Because Laine insisted ...

The whole pep squad? I'm impressed. What did you do to them, Anrai?

[thehorseman]

Smiled at them. Once. That was apparently all it took.

[abbytude]

Thank you. I needed a laugh.

[thehorseman]

Always happy to lighten someone's day, Abby.

[sand_andwater]

I hope you have a wonderful day.

[thehorseman]

Thank you, Pippa, and may the peace of the season be with you.

While out walking Mr. Beaker, I was greeted with a "Merry Fucking Christmas, stupid bitch." From Santa Claus. New York's a lovely city, isn't it? Queens is just so full of friendly people.

[thehorseman]

That is just shameful. There's no call for that kind of rudeness.

[jack_anderson]

I'd stay off of Main Street today, if I were you, buddy.

[thehorseman]

No worries there, Jack. I plan to stay dug in at home all weekend.

[jack_anderson]

I'm not sure that will be much better after what Margie's said.

[thehorseman]

....... do I want to know?

You know sugar, one of us is goin' to need to run down to the store. Harvard tripped me up and I dropped the carton of eggs on the kitchen floor. No eggs...no chocolate birthday cake.

[thehorseman]

Right. Of course, a chroi.

...

Is it just the eggs?

[rein_it_in]

I'll go if a gaggle of little girls scare you. Never mind that it's snowin' and I'm pregnant and tired and have about fifty million things I gotta get done this afternoon includin' makin' dinner and bakin' a cake for someone...

[thehorseman]

Of course I'll not force you out in temperatures like these, lover. I'll go. I was just wondering if there was anything else I should pick up in addition to the eggs.
